Converting a flash video file to work with in FCE

Does anyone know how to grab a flash video file off the web and convert it to a format that can be edited in FCE 2.0.3? Thanks

Generally Flash video is streamed off a server and is not downloadable as some QuickTime files are.

  • Convert .MXF Video files to work with Mac Editing software?

    Hello,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
    As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
    1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
    2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
    3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
    4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
    5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
    6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
    I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
    7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
    8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
    9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
    Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks for your response.
    If this codec can only be read by Final Cut Pro, why do all these companies claim their software can convert .MXF files?

  • Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

    Hello everyone,
    Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
    Summary:
    Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
    When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
    I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
    Thanks,
    Talha
    Google Chrome 64-Bit
    Windows 8.1 64-Bit

  • Flash video has not worked with Firefox browser for years. When will you fix this?

    Anyone who uses Firefox browser (for Windows or for Mac) knows that flash video playback ceased working sometime around Firefox ver 13 and has not worked since.
    The Mozilla people say it is Adobe's fault - instead of fixing Firefox.
    They say roll back to Adobe Flash version 10.
    This solves the video problem, but then, any other services that depend on the latest Flash build, quit working properly.
    This situation leaves millions of Firefox users in perpetual frustration. We can't use our browser of choice to view any web video built with Flash.
    This is so unacceptable. I am unable to understand why Adobe and Firefox don't get together and iron out whatever code incompatibility is causing this.
    I would really like to hear Adobe's explanation for this.

    Uh... I don't know what planet you posted this from, but Flash video has worked flawlessly with Firefox for hundreds of millions of users here on earth, without any gaps since Firefox was still called Mozilla.
    For the record, I have Firefox 28 with Flash Player 13 installed on:
    WIndows XP (SP3-64bit)
    Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2-64bit)
    Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1-64bit)
    Windows 8 Enterprise (64bit-2 machines) 
    Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)
    OS 0.6.8 Server
    OS10.7.5
    OS10.8.5 
    OS10.9.2
    And I've had Firefox with Flash Player since 2003 on both OS formats. I've never had a compatibility problem.
    I also use Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and a few other browsers you probably never heard of (like SeaMonkey, Maxthon, Waterfox, iCab, OmniWeb)... Flash works in all of them.
    I'd have to say the problem is with your system specifically, because if it was a Firefox/Flash compatibility problem, there would have been hundreds of millions of complaints about it, for over a decade. That... just isn't the case.

  • Which HD video file formats work with Mountain Lion?

    I use Final Cut Pro v. 7.0.3 and want to work with HD video. Have tried to open some HD video files and have not been able to. Are there specific HD file types that Can be used with this older system?

    I've googled the camera for info and I think it should work in FCP7.0.3
    Connect it to your Mac with the USB cable and switch it on.
    In the FCP menu select File>Log and Transfer
    A window will open and all the clips in your camera should start to appear.
    Select the ones you want and click the pause symbol on the lower, centre part of the window to start the capture.

  • HT3775 how can i convert an AVI video file to work on my iMac?

    I have just bought an imac and am trying to put my movies on to the mac from a microsoft machine. A lot of them are in AVI or MKV formats and I want to know if there is a converter I can download on my imac which will convert these files? Any help would be gratefully received.

    If you just want to move these avi and mkv files to play on iMac, you can download VLC player, it plays just every file format.
    http://www.videolan.org
    For converting files to Mac readable format, I use this one all the time:
    http://www.appgeeker.com/how-to/convert-avi-to-mp4-mac.html
    It supports handling multiple files at a time. one of my cameras record in .AVI format and i bulk convert to .mp4 or h264.

  • How can I get avi files to work with imovie08?

    Hi I bought a macbook last year and have loved creating imovie videos by simply using the video function on my digital camera. My daughter was born last year and we have a great collection of clips of her first 7 months. I'd now like to take things a step further and put together a wedding video.
    We had our wedding day filmed on a digital camcorder by a friend and he has given my 25MB of avi files which I would like to import into imovie and make into a video however I understand that this format isn't compatible. Is there a way of getting it to work and if so please can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do to get the files to work with imovie? (I'm not very technical)
    Thanks
    Matt

    I do not know of a way to import .avi files directly into iMovie, and I am positive that this is not actually possible as iMovie only supports the importation of .mov, .mp4 (mpeg4) and .dv filetypes.
    What you could do is use a video converter (there are some good ones that are availible free, eg MPEG Streamclip (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html)) to convert those avi movie files to either of the 3 video formats iMovie supports, then import them.
    MPEG Streamclip does sound a little complicated for you but it is the best I have found, any more questions just post them here.

  • Some programs and video files dont work.

    Some programs and video files dont work, get a crash report everytime I close, even after an uninstall everything and re install.
    So I try playing some videos and it gives me an error, which I can watch on Chrome. Soundcloud doesnt seem to work, again works on chrome, and before I could watch WebM's but now it says not supported MME. Also everytime I close I get a crash reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. I just happened recently. Also cant play soundcloud. Tried everything, feeling like going to chrome where things work and support is actual support

    Protected mode works on some systems and not others. Since two of your four crash reports were related to Flash, I thought it was worth a try, but it's up to you whether you want to try it.
    I'm not sure whether the issue with WebM video is a setting issue or a program files issue or a system issue.
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Don't delete anything here. Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Any better results with WebM video or shutdown?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.
    '''Clean Reinstall'''
    A regular reinstall may leave some stray files in your programs folder. This method is a bit cleaner.
    (1) If needed, download a fresh installer for Firefox 30 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
    (2) Exit out of Firefox.
    (3) Rename the folder
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    (4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
    Does Firefox behave more normally?
    Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Flash video file not loading

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem getting some flash video files to load.
    So far it's affecting 2 files located on these pages:
    Martin
    O'Brien movie and
    John
    Gormley movie
    The .flv files are being hosted on amazon s3. I have done
    several things so far to try to figure out why they aren't loading:
    * Having the .swf file in the same folder as the web page
    (doesn't work)
    * Inserting a different .flv file from a different folder in
    amazon s3 (doesn't work)
    * Changing file permissions (doesn't work)
    * Linking to the .flv file in same manner from a different
    site on same ISP (video does work)
    * Embedding .swf file in a html file instead of a php file
    (doesn't work)
    I can only guess that it's something specific to the
    www.bmfconferences.com site. As I said i've tried the same .flv
    file on a different site with the same ISP (it says Bruce Robinson
    but it's the John Gormley video file (
    John
    Gormley movie on different site) and this works, but I don't
    know what else to look for to get the files to work on the bmf
    site.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Louise.

    Hi All
    I found the solution!... I had to add the MIME type .flv =
    video/x-flv to my web server (Windows 2003).
    Thank anyway

  • Flash player stop to work with Firefox

    Ok it’s just killing me!! Flash player stop to work
    with Firefox
    All my web site users including me have this problem and I
    guess all the millions of mozilla users
    When you press play it’s not working or it’s no
    sound
    What solve the problem is to download oldest Flash-Player
    Please fix it as fast as you can.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the assistance Chris.  I tried the 11.7 option without success.  I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled).  Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results. 
    However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos!  WooHoo. 
    I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
    Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
    Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.

  • Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

    Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
    If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite  installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
    I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
    all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
    Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer.  There's nothing separate to download or install.
    Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
    For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • Embedded Flash videos don't work

    Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
    The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
    Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
    Question 2 (related):
    This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
    Thanks for reading this.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • Do I need flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?

    Is it necessary to use flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?
    Can you build apps just using the open source flex sdk. If so are there tutorials and books on how to do so?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
    ./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
    If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
    ./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
    Then, launch your AIR application using adl
    ./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
    Hope this helps,
    Joan
